Sakuma Jirou Analysis

What kind of hat fits sakuma?

i actually once drew him in a baseball cap before during my webfishing hyperfixation phase (full post) so it's the first thing that came up in my mind.

there's also this art used in natsu bomber of penguin trio and megane as cowboys and i think sakuma is rocking his cowboy hat so much. i always get excited whenever i see fanart of him.

sorry for answering late i had been saving this ask so i can draw my thoughts but i never have the time to ^______T i also think he'd look very cute in newsboy cap too ahahah. thank you for asking!!

nothing will change your perspective on a character like someone who is batshit obsessed with them

When I'm in the pretty princess competition and my opponent is GO!Sakuma

(under read more because i'm embarrassed but i really want to add this)

sakuma's so pretty even when his face isn't shown... what is this sorcery......

my friends open drawing requests and i bow my head with shame and avoid eye contact as i ask for the character they Already Knew I Would Ask For

eeghhghhg writing a sakuma analysis post after years of not doing so. probably going to be quite long as hell as well. praying hands emoji

this is about procrastinating. or executive dysfunction. i think

I love this official art because one, sakuma looks as beautiful as ever and two, the way he’s clenching his fist.

Like chill out girl nobody’s taking your man away from you

And Gouenji looks dumb as hell, wake up man

2:30 AM and can't sleep thinking about how sakuma has 0 selfish bone in him and his "i can't see your world" @ kidou line in shin teikoku arc is him venting his desperation over not knowing what is in kidou's mind 💔💔💔💔 even post shin teikoku he's beefing on fudou never about what fudou did to him but instead over the risk he could do to kidou. sakuma who is made of 100% pure love for better or worse

heyyyyyy there do u maybe wanna share more thoughts on butch lesbian kirino? im very intrigued 👀

This is based on projection of my own experience of identifying as MLM trans guy to nonbinary butch lesbian so I headcanon Kirino to go thru the same pipeline, hahah. Though different to my labels, I headcanon that Kirino is both transmasc and butch lesbian.

The idea came from how Kirino keeps his pigtails despite not liking being mistaken as a girl, so I headcanon that he has a complex relationship with masculinity, hence his complicated gender journey where he mistook his masculinity as being a binary man, but in reality it's entirely outside of the conventional idea of gender (being butch)

Other than his refusal to let go of his pigtails, my main idea of the headcanon is the way he finds kinship in Joan of Arc who during her entire life was demonized for not conforming to gender roles, leading to her death. And Kirino's Joan of Arc theming doesn't end in his mixi-max but it extends to his keshin sharing the same traits as Joan's (banner bearing / raising morals of other fellow members)

I also found Kirino's development to embrace his calling as a defender and to support Shindou and other members similar to butches in history where they took the role of supporting and protecting other members of the LGBTQ community in past, too
